hello everyone

yes i am also a new member to BB, and pardon me , i am so computer illiterate...so took me forever to figure out how to even place a comment. I am one week out from having the Lap Band. I live in Al. and yes we are Freezing  this week. I am married with two children 21 an 14. I am a nurse also. i see  many nurses on here, the stress makes us eat.....love to eat right...well did anyway. now we just eat differently.  I had my first check up today and have lost 11 Lbs in two weeks.  yeah....yeah..... can't wait to eat real food...
looking forward to finding out some tricks and some new recipes.. time to run for church. be blessed....

welcome to our family. what is your first name by the way?  one week is not far away. i will scoot over on the loser's bench so you'll have plenty of room to sit down.  we have a chat session every monday in the bariatric buddy chat room (see to the right) at 7 eastern, 6 central, 5 mountain, 4 pacific. it lasts about an hour and is a good way to meet people. be sure and post to let us get to know you.  we are here if you have any questions or if you need support or someone to laugh with you.  let me know if i can ever be of help to you. vick

i just read your post about sad and sadder............made my day.  i know i will join the group, i asked my husband if it is worth 10,000 to fix ( sad / sadder )  and well just don't think so...life goes on.... yes i see the time for the chat on monday. i will try to attend. PJ

Welcome to the group.  We are good for each other, nice to have another nurse among us.  We are people too.  What day was your surgery.  Take care of yourself, read lots of posts, and by all means come back frequently to share.  Congrats on the loss.  Looking forward to getting to know you better.  Hugs, Kathy

Welcome from me as well (another resident nurse) lol.! I am not sure if you mean you had surgery a week ago or are due to have it in a week. I know you lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks, so whatever is happening, it is great!
We will do our best to assist and support you along the way. reach out when ever you need to or want to and others will reach out to you as well. Looking forward to sharing your journey!
